SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes including Suez additive in Singapore gasoil

Following a continued review of recognized additives contained in the FOB Singapore gasoil assessment process, S&P Global Platts proposes to begin reflecting a new additive.

The additive is lubricity improver Spec-Aid 8Q5352A by Suez Water Technologies (Wuxi) Co., Ltd.

Platts proposes to add this additive to the list of recognized additives reflected in its assessment process.

The list of Platts gasoil recognized additives is intended to provide clarity to market participants regarding which additives are generally considered to be merchantable and accepted for cargoes delivered through the Platts Market on Close assessment process in Singapore.

Platts does not align its FOB Singapore additives acceptance to any particular importing country.
